1987 Haro Freestyler build

<< < (4/6) > >>

laidback:
I restored my 87 FST back to original Spec a couple of years ago...

Off the top of my head (i've got the catalogue with spec sheet somewhere- will dig it out for you):

AME Tri grips.
Polygon locking brake levers (quite hard to find), OR DC Tech 6
Mine had ACS 860 calipers front and rear OR DC FS 880 calipers
Black YST Headset
Group1 freestyle stem (with potts mod bolt)
Gen 1 Gyro and cables
Suntour 16 t freewheel
Haro Uni Directional chainring, 44t
Anlun Cro-mo OPC
KMC Chain
Victor VP (863?) Plastic pedals
48spoke ukai/suzue rims and hubs (Or gen 1 single wall Peregrine 48s- basically the same thing)
Haro FS 20x 175 tyres
Viscount Dominator Seat
Peregrine seat clamp
Haro fluted layback seatpost (stamped SAE 4130)

Many of these parts i learned were open to interpretation, as i think it largely depended on what was available in the parts bin!, so 880s or 883 (Nippon) are a nice upgrade, as are peregrine 48s, a Peregrine disc, a tioga beartrap headset etc etc.

Things like tyres and the layback wont be the easiest to find and will be pricy if you do find them.

here's mine for some inspiration:

carmadham:
laidback your bikes look superb. I have a gen 1 gyro but not sure if its a copy, should the cables have odyssey written on them?

Jaymz:
Here's mine an 86 with 87 paint and decals

carmadham:
I started to assembling the bike today and I have a question, the mags came with nuts and washers but do the washers go between the wheel and the fork/frame or the fork/frame and the nut?. Theres no room on the forks to have them between the forks and the wheel. Theres too much gap if I don't have them between the wheel and the frame.

I hope all this makes sense, just wondered how they are supposed to be...

bigfatolly:
Put them between the nut and the forks,don't worry about there being a gap between the cone /wheel and forks,that will disappear when you tighten it all up  :daumenhoch:
